Short: is it possible to change 'plugins' directory name?

Long:
* the rcp app I am working on needs to be integrated in a larger
application suite which has a fixed directory structure.
* the plugins themselves should be placed in a directory called 'lib'.
* I have not managed to make it work although I have set magic OSGi
properties (orgi.syspath,...).
* Class org.eclipse.equinox.launcher.Main seems to have hardcoded
'plugins' directory
( http://dev.eclipse.org/viewcvs/index.cgi/org.eclipse.equinox .launcher/src/org/eclipse/equinox/launcher/Main.java?revisio n=1.42&view=markup)
* Is it possible to make an RCP app work a directory structure lacking
'plugins' dir?

Maybe this may help you:

look at the "How link files extend an Eclipse installation" section

Thanx for your response, but after reading the article, I still think
there is not means to avoid the 'plugins' directory, just to choose where
to look for such directory :-(
